Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Goal:
Basic understanding of concepts and methods in quantum chemistry.

Contents:
1. Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Chemistry
2. Variational Methods
3. Born-Oppenheimer Approximation
4. Hartree-Fock Theory and Basis Sets
5. Correlation Methods
6. Density functional theory
7. Additional concepts (e.g., relativistic quantum chemistry, solvation effects)

Methods:
The topics of the lecture "Moderne Quantenchemie/Modern Quantum Chemistry" are revisited during a series of computer exercises.
